thanks Joe! I wish I had a hide, so I could get closer to these wild looking ducks!

#5 would be stronger if it is cropped from the bottom! :thumbup:

Lovely work, Raymond. I think #6 is my fave of the group, too! Very interesting scene. :thumbup:

Love the expression you caught in #4, too.

Great stuff!

Thanks everyone once again! It's cool when I can go out on a brutal day light-wise, and still come home with something., I tried again today, just uploading now.. we shall see!

Raymond J Barlow · Dec 27, 2005

here are a few from today, really dim light, so, they are really not worth posting...

thanks again for all the nice comments!

the skies look a little drab, but there is nothing dull about your photos. seems like you made pretty good use of what light you had! Love the first 4, i always like your bird o prey shots

i think #5 is my favorite too. i love these shots of birds standing on ponds/lakes/whatever. i can honestly say i have never seen that! last one is great too, nice in-flight shot with the ice in the background. :thumbup: :thumbup:

The focus is a bit o...... Just kidding. Great shots!

Raymond J Barlow · Dec 27, 2005

you are right Dave.. the depth is so shallow in the dim light on the last one, the focus dosent cover the hawk, but, I still liked it enough to post it!

thanks JTH.

Now that you mention it, some of the branches look like they caught your af sensor instead of the hawk after looking at it a bit. Still a great capture though.
